Jessica was walking home from school when she suddenly bumped into Mr. Noes. Jessica didn’t know him well because he had just moved onto her street. He started to speak “ Why hello, Jessica! Would you like a peach? I grow them myself!” Jessica said “Um, no thank you Mr. Noes. My mom wanted to know, Are you getting a new cat? My mom heard it from Mr. Todd and wanted to be sure.”. Mr. Noes said “ Well, she heard that! I am getting a new cat tonight! We are going to The animal shelter soon! At four thirty!”. Jessica said “Nice seeing you, Mr. Noes! I had to go home to start my home work.”. Jessica had lied.She hated to lie, but she didn’t want Mr.Noes to know she was very afraid of cats. She started to run down the block. She may be short for a third grader, but her legs are fast! She busted though the front door. “Mom” she said “ Mr. Noes is getting a new cat” she started to cry. Jessica mom said “Oh, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica. I thought you liked Tater”. Tarter was Mr.Noes old cat. They had to put him down because he was 22 years old! Jessica said “ Moooooom! I hated Tarter! He was sooooooo mean!” Jessica’s mom said “ Well.. You could tell Mr. Noes the truth you know”
